Default font colour

Hello Articulate Rise - From reading this chain of posts, it appears that fonts are still defaulted to grey. What this means is that I'll have to go through the entire course I'm working on, block by block, to switch the font to black. With accessibility at the forefront of our work, the default should be black (if defaulting is required) and then custom changes would be for those who want to switch to grey. Please work on this issue.

It appears that the global font color has been an issue for several years with Rise. Is there any plan to make it easy to set the color for the entire course to one color?

Dear Articulate 360, 

Can you please give us an explanation as to why this is taking up to 3 years (and probably more) to sort out this issue? I respect that you wish to leave the default as #313537, but would it be possible to give your customers the option to use any default font colour they want? I understand that you have other processes that are taking priority - but this seems to also be a priority to your customers. 

Thanks and wish this gets sorted out soon. 

It would be nice to be able to change the default font in all areas of Rise. Particularly because research shows that black font is more accessible for those with visual impairments, or vision-related disabilities; and it's my own aim, as well as that of my firm's, to make our content as accessible as possible.

I understand why the trend toward gray happened, but there must be other ways to enhance the UX for all learners...and developers? Like adjusting font size, or tighter, more concise writing...

And frankly,  my own eyes are not that great, so after working in Rise for several hours, I am feeling the eye strain myself!  

Hi! I have the same issue. We have a need of branding all our trainings according to our corporate brand. And that includes the font color. The trainings can sometimes be quite long  so it`s annoying and it takes us a lot of unnecessary time to do this manually for each text segment. That also goes for background colors to each segment. It would be great to be able to change the default also for that, even though maybe not the game changer the option of changing the default font color would be.

I mean, the USP with Rise is that it is easy to use, but this makes it less easy, so it´s actually quite counter productive not to have that option.

I understand your concern, Leslie. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'll be sure our team sees your feedback, and we'll let you know if we make a change to this feature in the future. 

Please allow us to change the default font settings for size, color, etc., it is very time-consuming to do it manually, where you have to change the font for every caption, piece of text, etc., throughout a training module that contains hundreds of blocks.

Adding my voice to this.  Having to go through and check/change every block of text is very time consuming and draining — and there is always the chance of error. We recently had a minor colour update and I had to go through our modules and update every instance, manually typing in the HEX code. Tables are a source of frustration too, as I have to reset the font size and colour for every new row/column.
RISE is brilliant in so many ways — really hoping you can address this  soon.

Yes, I concur. I would like to be able to set a default font color for the whole project.

Thanks Crystal... it's a big one for us. With 22 Trainers reviewing materials it's the only consistent comment we get. They all find black is better as they find the charcoal color hard to read.
